‘A’ishah, may <strong>Al</strong>lah be well pleased with her said: “This verse was reve<strong>al</strong>ed about the testification in<br />

prayer (tashahhud). One Bedouin used to raise his voice upon saying: ‘Greetings and good s<strong>al</strong>utation to<br />

<strong>Al</strong>lah’, and so this verse was reve<strong>al</strong>ed”. 20<br />

‘Abd <strong>Al</strong>lah ibn Shaddad said: “After the Prophet, <strong>Al</strong>lah bless him and give him peace, concluded the<br />

prayer, the Bedouins of Banu Tamim were in the habit of supplicating loudly, saying: ‘O <strong>Al</strong>lah, provide<br />

us with we<strong>al</strong>th and offspring’, and so <strong>Al</strong>lah, ex<strong>al</strong>ted is He, reve<strong>al</strong>ed this verse”. 21<br />
